Staying Gold: Forever Gold

Sequal Chapter 13

*Kyrie's P.O.V*

"Soda, do I look ok?", I asked. I was wearing a black sweat shirt that said "Elvis Presley" and had his pic on it in black and white, with some black skinny jeans. I had my hair braided and pulled to the side. To top everything off, I was wearing some black combat boots.

"You look wonderful. Not very Christmassy though.", he answered.

"Sorry, I'm a caual person, I guess.", I apologized. We heard a car horn and went outside to see Dally in the driveway.

I got in the car and kept smiling at Dallas.

"What did you do now, Kyrie?", he asked.

"Nothing, I'm just excited. Merry Christmas, Dally.", I answered. He returned the favor. It seemed like forever until we reached the Curtis house. Once I got out of the car, Two-Bit noticed me and jumped off the porch to hug me. He was followed by Johnny and Steve. They also hugged Soda.

"Where have you two been?", Steve asked.

"That's a surprise that I'll tell y'all in the house.", I answered. We went inside and Darry was in his chair and Pony was on the couch. Pony didn't look up. He was holding some box.

"Hey Kyrie and Soda, how ya been?", Darry asked.

"Could be better.", Soda answered. Pony looked up at me. He looked confused, yet worried.

"Ok, now explain why you left.", Two-Bit demanded.

"I have to tell Pony first. To save trouble.", I said. Pony got up, putting the strange box in his pocket and walking in Darry's room with me.

"What's going on?", he asked.

"I'm pregnant.", I sighed.

"How!?", he yelled.

I was so nervous and on the verge of tears, "When I thought you were dead, I would get really drunk. Well, I did one time and so did Soda. We did some things we're not proud of. Pone, it's his baby.", I explained.

"Well now I don't feel bad for getting engaged in New York!", He yelled.

"What!? What are you talking about!?", I screamed.

"I met this girl in New York and fell in love with her. We got engaged and then she dumped me. That's when I came back here to see if we were gonna be a thing still.", he explained.

"So you're using me!?", I yelled really loud.

"No! I thought you moved on and obviously you have!", He said.

"I was drunk! How long after you were kidnapped did you two become something?", I asked.

"Half a year.", he answered.

"That's when all my drinking and crap started.", I said. "How are you not using me? I'm some rebound or something?"

He sighed, "You're exaggerating."

"You got engaged!", I yelled.

"You got pregnant!", He yelled back.

"Screw you.", I said with venom in my words. I had tears flooding my face by now. Pony took the box out of his pocket and threw it at the wall. A gold ring with a diamond fell out.

"I was gonna ask you to marry me.", he said. I was sobbing even more.

"Was?", I asked.

"Yeah, until I found out my girlfriend was pregnant with my brother's baby.", He answered.

"I was gonna say yes until I found out my boyfriend got engaged six months after he made everyone think he died. I can tell you get over me real fast.", I replied walking towards the door, "Ya know, you should be more like Soda. When Sandy got pregnant and it wasn't his baby, he still wanted to marry her." I opened the door and the guys fell on my feet.

"So, you're pregant?", Johnny asked. I pulled out a picture from my ultra-sound and showed it to them. They looked amazed. Soda and Dally noticed I was crying.

"What's wrong?", Soda asked.

"Pony and I broke up. He met another girl two and a half years ago and they got engaged and the only reason he came back was because they broke up. Then he makes it sound like we did on purpose after I explained that we were both drunk.", I cried. Dally ran in ready to kill Pony. Until Darry stopped him.

"He was going to ask me to marry him, until I told him I was pregnant. I told him he needed to be more like you when Sandy got knocked up.", I finished.

"Yeah, go run to your new lover.", Pony said. Dally almost broke free of Darry after that remark. Johnny, Steve, and Two-Bit had to help hold him back.

"You're right, Pone.", I replied. I pulled Soda into a kiss and added a little tongue. When I broke away, I looked at Soda and he was trying everything not to smile.

Pony grabbed the phone and called someone.

"Cherry? Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later. Ya know, for some coffee or something? Really? That's great! I'll meet you there in twenty minutes.", he hung up.

"No! What are you doing!?", I yelled. I was sobbing so hard, I couldn't breathe.

"It's too late now.", he said.

"Pony, I loved you! I still do! I made a mistake and you have, too! You can't throw this all away over something this stupid!", I begged. He grabbed a jacket and got out of Darry's room. I ran infront of him and blocked the front door.

"I'm sorry, Kyrie. Now will you move out of the way?", he asked. "I'll go out the back door."

I took a blade out of my back pocket and held it up to my throat, "I barely survived when you left me the first time, what makes you think I will this time?"

"Kyrie, put the blade down.", Dally begged. I noticed a couple of tears on his cheeks.

"Please Kyrie.", the rest of the guys begged. They were crying as well.

"Kyrie, put the blade down. Please. I'm sorry. I love you. I just lost my temper. After hearing that you're pregant with Soda's baby and seeing you kiss him. I lost it.", Pony said. I slowly lowered the blade and put it in my back pocket. Pony wrapped me in his arms. I hugged back and looked at Soda.

"I'm sorry.", I mouth.

He smiled, "It's ok. I understand. Seeing this made me rethink and maybe it wouldn't work. You and Pony are better off together. I love you though, just not like that anymore." I smiled back at him. 

Pony released the hug, "Let me go get something." He came back in and got down on one knee.

"Kyrie,

I've loved you since the day I laid eyes on you. I want you to know I could've never went to the Dingo with Cherry for coffee. I couldn't. The girl I was with in New York was nothing compared to you. I was only with her to try and get over you. That didn't work so I left her to be with you. I'm sorry I lied in Darry's room. And for everything. Kyrie Winston will you become Kyrie Curtis and marry me?", he asked.

"Yes, Ponyboy, I'll marry you.", I answered. He smiled and slid the ring on my finger. He got up and we shared a kiss. I'm engaged to the one I love most in the whole wide world.
